The Cheapest Motorized DIY Standing Desk On Amazon

[@SourceForge-net]

Hello everyone! We made a follow-up video, mentioning some concerns and comparing it against an all-in-one motorized standing desk from FlexiSpot. You can watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJ-kZq2vrdCKgpI

[@scottwalker7611]

How stable is the desk when it is raised? Is there any wobble (side-to-side) motion?

[@Cannonbo]

this question needs more upvotes. cheap usually means less stable so it would be nice to know.

[@schwartzmatthewe]

I found some that look nicer because I didn’t want to go with “cheap”. Plus, I am going to build a copy of the Lian Li out of wood so it’ll be heavy.

[@Techno4more]

@@schwartzmatthewe I'm thinking about buying this and adding a track to the wall to ensure stability

[@sashankthag12]

I got this and is brilliant. I have 4 monitor setup. I have added M10 castors which makes it easier to move around

[@epistarter1136]

@@sashankthag12 sorry if this sounds stupid but how did you attach wheels to this thing? Also do wheels help it stop wobbling less?

[@omar13018]

Bought this desk and man! I'm very impressed with the quality. guys if you're in the market for a dual motor desk this is the one! I have no doubts in this product. this video helped a lot with this purchase.

[@mythmaks7497]

Is it steady? Does it wobble?

[@jimadams6159]

Great video, thank you for sharing. I have wanted a sit/stand desk for a while now but could not justify the cost. This makes it possible.

[@RichardHicksonCPFC]

How wobbly is the desk? I have a vonhaus electric standing desk and it drives me mad with the wobble. Thanks

[@dsvick]

Two questions: how long have you had it and how is it holding up over time?

[@BeauHD]

Update: It's holding up well! At one point I had to reset the control panel because it was giving me an error message / not working. But it's possible I maxed out the weight, causing it to stop working. A reset fixed things and it continues to work well with little issues 2-3 months later.

[@erikdami1791]

I bought it a few months ago what they say is if the lights went out the memory of the system is lost so you make it go down all the way and hold the down button and it resets

[@Therealconnoissuer]

@@BeauHD how do you reset ?

[@idaniel86]

Thanks for sharing! Any chance you can check the motors manufacturer?

[@leehigbee]

Searching for "Ikea countertop" lists a variety of tops that I think should work, ranging from $50 -$250 depending on how nice the wood is. I'm surprised that wasn't mentioned in the video or comments, that I saw. I'm seriously considering doing this, after seeing how well it worked.

[@SmaxyMiguel]

If he mentioned this then his thumbnail would be a lie.

[@devinxharper]

I actually just found this exact same a few weeks ago and am very seriously considering doing this same thing with my desk. So just over a year later - how has it held up? Are you still satisfied with it?

[@olpchk1115]

you forgot to mention the most important thing of a table: is it steady enough ? because many of these motorized tables just a wobbling crap

what worries me the most about these is durability. A lot of the reviews for this frame that I'm reading say it can start to fail after as early as one month after assembly. What's your luck been with this?

[@Bigheadedwon]

Do you remember where you read the reviews? On Amazon this has a suspeciously high number of reviews and most are 5 stars.

[@TCAuno]

Where do you get the table top from and also you know you can cut the rgb strip to fight perfectly. It has cut lines on the strip showing where it’s safe to cut

[@malikmartin]

I wonder how well it holds up to a rear-center-mounted triple-monitor stand...

[@MMT-24-7]

Just wall mount them. If you have enough money for a triple monitor setup, then spend some more on the desk :)

[@dennispeterson7133]

@@MMT-24-7 the point of a motorized standing desk is for your entire setup to change height while you change between sitting and standing.

You answered my question. I have this super tall king size bed that I want a bed table for. Tablets, drinks, smoke sesh, etc... With a 7' wide bed it has to be custom made. Trust me, I've been looking for a king side bed table. Only one I found was nearly $1,500. Hard pass! Glad you mentioned that it can be modified. Wasn't sure if the motor cables would be long enough. Glad I found your video. Thanks! Note: They offer the option of cable management baskets. Not super cute, but could help.

Why not go for one of the sit stand desks with a manual crank arm? I hesitate to buy a cheap desk with electronics etc that I am suspecting will break in the near future, leaving the desk mostly unusable.

[@Tuvzii]

mostly the fact that if you have to manually crank it you might be inclined to not use it as a standing desk at all, its very easy to just hit a button and have it raise vs needing to physically raise and lower it everytime. just my thoughts
